Hello all,
I just received my copy of the March issue (Volume 73, No. 3) of Genii. It was great to see Tony Giorgio back with his, "The Giorgio Letters" column. I used to always enjoy reading this column back in the 90's when I first got started in magic. Keep him coming Richard, thanks!

And we haven't even hit the big feature yet! Next David Regal interviews creative wizard Angelo Carbone, whose many inventions and marketed items mark a high point in magical creativity. Then we are treated to seven tricks from Angelo.

The issue wraps up with "Light from the Lamp" in which Jamy Swiss, Dustin Stinett, and David Oliver review books, videos, and tricks.

Another great issue for only $4.50 (the price when you subscribe for one year and get a free copy of the Harry Anderson/Jon Racherbaumer 32-page Jinx).

The last issue of Genii I recevied a few months ago was the november 2009 issue.
The postman in the US is better then in Europe ( Netherlands).
Are there more subscribers in Europe who are recieving Genii so late?

There's no explanation of Twister: I thought it was an interesting effect and wanted to show photos of the prototype. I wish Tenyo had put it out! It's EXACTLY the type of thing they need to start putting on the market again.

The floating quarter is brilliant. I'm going to make one up with a drywall nail, which has a flat head and will, I hope, attach more securely and easily to the dime. I just love the idea of the dime being the gaff used to float the quarter.

I think TENYO have taken it a 'bit easy' over the past few years. Indeed I seem to remember a couple of years where none of the effects were of interest. They don't seem to take the same risks as much. A real shame. Things are looking up with the release this year of Angelo Carbone's brilliant floating card effect though. But - I do wish they would 'push the envelope' more like they used to. Some more Lubor Fiedler would be a great start! Classic Tenyo effects are not only novel in method but also in effect as well. Some years every effect seemed like a winner. I also think it would be great if Tenyo could archive or publish the protypes that didn't make it. I bet they have a bunch of brilliant concepts which may never reach the marketplace. That would make a fascinating chapter for the book on Tenyo which I think needs to be written one day!

PS I am picking up my copy of GENII next week. Can't wait to check out Angelo's stuff. The guy is INCREDIBLE!!!

Ive recently received a (now discontinued) Angelo creation, Mini-morphosis. ( Tenyo) Clever thinking by Angelo, pity about the CLANK when doing the business. I would like to see Tenyo Elite make a higher quality version.

I really like the floating coin idea from Angelo Carbone - almost feels like a brand new approach to that effect. But - what has really being hurting my brain is thinking about the TWISTER prototype that Angelo produced for TENYO. It sounds like it could have being incredible. Hopefully it will see that light of day in some other way - maybe as a chapter in one of Angelo's upcoming books? Speaking of which - I can't wait to see them see the light of day as well...

The March issue of Genii just arrived yesterday here in Sydney, Australia and it is superb. I'm enjoying the article on Angelo, and it's packed full of great stuff. Maven's Lost Horizons articles are a great new addition.

I just received "Out of Order" and want to tell you that I think it is absolutely brilliant. Somehow this slipped past me (when you first released it) but after reading the aritcle in Genii I knew that it would be great.

Thanks for the great service and amazing trick!

And for everyone else - purchase Out of Order directly from Angelo. You will not be disappointed!
